New on Blu-ray: THE BLEEDER: A ROCKER SHOCKER / BLODAREN (1982) - Swedish Slasher Horror

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Sweden's first feature film shot on video (U-matic) is also Sweden's only slasher movie. The overall-clad hemophiliac "The Bleeder" is roaming the abandoned estate of Byfors, blood pouring from his eyes. The all-girl band Rock Cats (real-life band Revanch) have engine trouble with their tour bus in the middle of the woods. Guess where they end up? Hans Hatwig is the legendary editor of the hugely successful Swedish pop magazines Poster (1974-1980) and Okej (1980-1989). He photographed the bands himself, and got Gene Simmons from KISS to pose with a poster for THE BLEEDER in his mouth, fueling the rumor that Simmons played the lead character, a clever PR trick by the enterprising Hatwig. THE BLEEDER is actually played by Åke Eriksson, one of Sweden's best drummers, known from bands like Attack, Bedlam and Wasa Express.
